How many of us have seen the FEMA camp videos wherein the one making the video always claims to have proof from multiple sources yet never once do they share a single valid source? And so my obvious question is; why are people so fearful about such invalidated claims? No I’m saying all of the videos are false. Many are, but not all and anyone with brains knows the government is corrupt and most Christians know the mark is about to be enforced. But I am saying the fear cultivated by those videos as well as the fear of the mark is in fact generated by Satan. In fact, it was prophesied to be this way right before the end. Biblical reality is, Satan is the most fearful being in the Universe. Not only does he flee in terror when an obedient Christian demands he get away from them, he knows his time is short wherein he will soon die in a very graphic manner. And so anyone bowing to his lies will become just as fearful because the one you emulate is the one you trust.

Have you ever searched for the words “good courage” in your Bibles? It shows up every time the people of God were to head out to war or have a major trial designed to both bolster their faith as well as glorify the Lord. Well guess what brothers and sisters. Not only do we have many trials designed to do the same, we are also in a holy war as we speak. Satan knows however if he can get us to believe his lies over the promises of the Lord to make us fearful he can defeat us and make us fall on the battlefield so that his numbers in hellfire grow.

According to the Bible, only the lost will be fearful because only the lost refuse to accept Jesus as Lord who promises them perfect peace in these trying times. The prophecy found in Luke 21:26 says that right before Jesus returns “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”

An obedient Christian not only knows what time it is, they have perfect peace and joy within knowing their Lord, King and Saviour is soon to return and that makes their joy go off the chart. Obedient Christians know the promises of God are for them and them alone. Well, expect the promise of damnation of course. That too is a promise, but only for the fearful because it says in Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Why does it say the fearful go to hell? Think about the basic reality behind that for a moment. Why would Jesus allow those that trust Satan’s lies into His Kingdom that is based on truth? Only those that worship and obey Jesus enter into New Jerusalem. Hence the reason Revelation 22:14, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

When you really accept Jesus as Lord wherein you allow Him to write His law upon your hearts, all that fear is gone because you know who the author of fear is. The reason the lost get fearful is because they are the ones giving Satan permission to give them his fear. And yes, I know of billions of people claim to be Christians yet they still have fear. But that’s because they are not obedient Christians. All of them break the Sabbath each week, smoke, drink, lie, cheat or commit many other sinful acts proving they only offer Jesus lip service while reveling in the lusts of the flesh, and so Satan has permission to be in their lives which is why they still have fear while claiming to be Christians.

It’s all about who you choose to trust. The peace and truth of Jesus or the fear and lies of Satan? Having fear confirms the person does not have faith in Jesus. That fear proves they only have faith in Satan. They can’t hear the voice of the Good Shepherd because they are accustomed to the voice of wolf. And that is why they won’t gain Heaven. Only those that trust Jesus will live with Jesus for eternity and those that trust Satan will die with Satan for eternity.

All the promises in the Bible that speak of wonderful things are only for the obedient Christian. And one of those promises is found in 2 Timothy 1:7 which speaks of the Christian who is tempted to fear. They are granted perfect peace knowing that “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” And since we know God is not the one that gives fear, when fear appears we know it has to be from Satan and so rebuke him as only an obedient Christian can. Jesus said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

So you need to ask yourself a very important question. Who do you believe? Satan who is the father of lies or Jesus who is the Author of truth?
